  Rare Autograph Postcards Signed by Raymond Chandler to Jean and Vincent Fracasse

  CHANDLER, Raymond.

  Raymond Chandler Autograph Postcards Signed.

  1957.

  Rare autograph postcards signed by Raymond Chandler to his secretary Jean Fracasse and her son Vincent. Duodecimo, two postcards of Palm Springs, California, dated 21 November 1957. Chandler and Vincent had bonded over playing darts, and in the postcard Chandler tells Vincent to "have the dartboard ready" and that he'd "like to get you .22 rifle for Christmas." The postcard itself appears to have been used for darts also upon receipt. The other postcard is addressed to "Sweet and lovely Jean" and reports to her that he swam 14 lengths "but it was so cold outside I only did 2 dives." Additionally both postcards have short postscripts from Chandler's literary agent Helga Greene. In very good condition, with light toning and dart indentations to one postcard. The pieces measure 5.5 inches by 7 inches.
